Midnight knows my name

+ Show full styles

[Intro] (Female – whispered) The city never sleeps... It changes its disguise... (Male) Midnight knows... Every name... ⸻ [Verse 1] Streetlights drew their silver lines, Across a thousand borrowed lives. Music floating through the air, Like it always knew I'd be there. Then I caught your quiet smile, Like we'd crossed these streets awhile. One slow glance across the room, Turned the midnight into bloom. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Every heartbeat found a reason, Every rhythm changed the air. Nothing moved... Yet everything Was waiting there. ⸻ [Chorus] Meet me where the lights burn low, Where the midnight rivers flow. Leave tomorrow at the door, We don't need it anymore. Round and round the music turns, Every lesson slowly burns. If the morning calls our names, We'll still dance just the same. ⸻ [Verse 2] Every smile concealed a game, Every stranger knew my name. You said, "Some roads never disappear... They only wait another year." Bass kept rolling through the floor, Pulling us a little more. Every glance and every move, Locked us deeper in the groove. ⸻ [Breakdown] (Male) Who were we... (Female) Before tonight... (Together) Maybe every road... Was leading here. ⸻ [Instrumental] (Walking bass, wah-wah guitar, tenor sax solo, flute responses, Hammond organ swells, cinematic strings, brass stabs, Rhodes piano, congas and bongos. Long soulful improvisation with dramatic stops before the groove returns.) ⸻ [Final Chorus] Meet me where the night begins, Where forever pulls us in. If the sunrise steals the scene, Love survives between the dreams. Round and round the record goes, Like a secret no one knows. Every lifetime finds the groove, Every heartbeat starts to move. ⸻ [Outro] (Female) Listen... (Male) Same street... (Together) Same song... When the city remembers...
